A new Front-End electronics, based on Logarithmic Amplifiers, is currently being developed for the CERN SPS Multi Orbit POsition System (MOPOS). The aim is to resolve the multi-batch structure of the beams and cope with their large intensity range (> 70 dB). Position and intensity signals are digitized in the Front-End electronics installed in the tunnel. The data are then transmitted over a serial fibre-optic link to a VME Digital Acquisition board located in surface buildings. A first prototype, equipped with a calibration system, has been successfully tested on the SPS under different beam conditions, including single bunch, 25ns and 50ns bunch trains. The system architecture and the first beam measurements are reported in this paper.

A new Front-End (FE) electronics is under development for the SPS Multi Orbit POsition System (MOPOS). To cover the large dynamic range of beam intensities (70dB) to be measured in the SPS, the beam position monitor signals are processed using logarithmic amplifiers. They are then digitized locally and transmitted via optical fibers over long distances (up to 1km) to VME acquisition boards located in surface buildings. The FE board is designed to be located in the SPS tunnel, where it must cope with a radiation dose rate of up to 100 Gy per year. Analogue components, such as Logarithmic Amplifiers, ADC-Drivers and Voltage regulators, have been tested at PSI for radiation hardness, while several families of bidirectional SFP, both single-fiber and double-fiber, have been tested at both PSI and CNRAD. This paper gives a description of the overall system architecture and presents the results of the radiation hardness tests in detail.
